    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on

Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 498-1210.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology. Send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC 
Assistant Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D24,

    Proposed Project: Application for Training (OMB No. 0920-0017)--
Revision--The Public Health Practice Program Office (PHPPO), in 
conjunction with the Public Health Training, offers self-study, 
computer-based training, satellite broadcasts, video courses, web-
casts, instructor-led field courses, and lab courses related to public 
health professionals worldwide. Employees of hospitals, universities, 
medical centers, laboratories, state and federal agencies, and state 
and local health departments apply for training in an effort to learn 
up-to-date public health procedures. The ``Application for Training'' 
forms are the official applications used for all training activities 
conducted by the CDC. The Continuing Education (CE) Program includes 
CDC's accreditation to provide Continuing Medical Education (CME), 
Continuing Nurse Education (CNE), Certified Health Education Specialist 
(CHES), and Continuing Education Unit (CEU) for almost all training 
activities. The only cost to the respondent is the time involved to 
complete the application.
